Eat slower, breathe more, chew more, taste & enjoy my food

I think food should be enjoyed, sometimes I eat way too much or too little because I don’t pay attention to my body and it’s needs.

I think this is really important – I eat too much because I don’t pay attention to my body as I eat. I’m always watching TV, working or just rushing….

Great, this is great. Just make sure you eat slower, don’t look to others who trow everythin inside :P

I really think that this is important. I sometimes eat more than I actually need, and that’s not very good. I know someone who lays down his things and stopped eating and looked around, I looked like “aren’t you eating that?” He just said, I am taking a little break.

I am not raised eating slowly, not at all. If people around me are eating fast, I also do that, I get in that same rush. Crazy actually. I feel like than I am running behind my desire for food, but I don’t want it to be that important. It will not be taken away from my plate (at least, I think so ;p) by someone.

I want to eat slow, and by that eat less and enjoy more!

I did well with this goal this week. Breakfast is going at a much slower rate, though there is still a little room for improvement. I’m pleased with my level of awareness.

I think breaking my urge to multi-task through other meals, particularly lunch, is going to be the biggest challenge here.

For now, I’m going to continue with breakfast.

I’v decided I’m definitely going to concentrate on this in the coming week, after almost choking myself while I absent-mindedly scoffed down my breakfast on Saturday.

I did well yesterday, but today I was already a couple of bites in before I remembered to slow down.

I have to do something about this whole auto-pilot routine.

I haven’t done so well at this lately. In fact I haven’t done anything at all on this lately. I’m back to scoffing my food or eating my food absent-mindedly as I watch or read something else.

I’ve still got a lot of work to do here. Back to trying to eat breakfast more slowly.

i swallow my food at such a speed that half the time i don taste what it is im eating till ive gone to bite it again. i also rush thru things like math that shood b taken slow and carefully. i need to slow down. hopefully i will.

I made a big effort at this over last week. I decided, in keeping with the spirit of this goal, to aim for just one meal to begin with… breakfast. I thought I did well but, counterintuitively, the longer I practice, the worse I seem to get. Is this because I am adjusting to the slower pace?

I think I’ll keep at my one meal for a little while and see how it goes.

I find my attention returning to my goal of slowing down. This is always the first thing I look to when attempting to slow down.

I received a batch of the most divine cookies from a friend for Christmas. Yesterday and today I have practiced eating one slowly. It’s a challenge. I think the key to this goal is not to wait until I am ravenously hungry because then I just scoff my food.
